Personal Certification
Recognised credentials that prove the competence of professionals.
Personal certification is the process by which TOV America awards credentials to individuals who meet specific competence requirements relating to a profession, an occupation, a job or a portion of a job.
A credential from an independent body gives employers, clients and regulators confidence that a person can do the work, and gives professionals a portable, recognised proof of their competence.
